Makwan ”Mr. Finland” Amirkhani radade upp sin andra UFC-seger då han besegrade Masio Fullen under UFC: Berlin, och vet redan nu vem han helst vill möta inne i oktagonen. Amirkhani vill nämligen bli den som får Dennis Siver att lägga handskarna på hyllan, och detta hade Makwan att säga via ”MMAFighting”:
After this fight, I knew that only the sky is the — actually there’s no limits. I was looking at myself in the mirror and asking myself, can I be a good opponent to guys in the top-15 in the world? I can be. Now I just want to train and get much better, then I’m going to make Dennis Siver retire.
When I just saw him fighting against Conor McGregor, I told two of my managers, I said, ‘I can beat this guy.’ And nobody said that I could beat him. They were quiet. They didn’t say anything. Now I feel like, oh, it’s like that? You guys don’t believe me, huh? I’m going after Siver. But the UFC will decide who I’m going to fight. I just say yes. If it’s not Siver in the next fight, then eventually I will fight him.
Vad som står på tur för ”Mr. Finland” är dock i dagsläget oklart, och om han kommer att få sin vilja igenom återstår att se.
